There is no comparison to the joy an artist feels when they've painted a beautiful portrait of someone special. Just imagine painting an incredible portrait that is such high quality that you don't hesitate for one moment to show it off by either giving it as a treasured gift or selling it for top dollar.

For many painters, portraits are off-limits so they can be too difficult and result in a lot of time spent without being happy with the results. Trying to capture life-like features, flesh tones, and expressions can be frustrating and difficult to correct along the way.

  • Creating a first painting
  • Creating a second painting

 

In each stage, Cesar not only demonstrates what he routinely does in his own work, he'll carefully explain, in detail, why he does it this way and the advantages these methods have. You can then take this information and incorporate it into your own paintings in no time. Soon, you'll be painting beautiful portraits that are sure to be enjoyed for generations to come.

If you have ever wanted an easier way to paint captivating portraits, this is it. Not only will this video show you how to paint better portraits, you will also enjoy a showcase of Cesar's famous artwork and a personal interview with the artist conducted by Vern G. Swanson, Art Renewal Center Trustee. Also featured is a musical composition directly inspired by the artist's work from Brazilian composer, Giacomo Lombardi.
